Book Launch Party for "The Humanities Building: Do you love it or hate it?" by Doug E. L. Haynes

About this event

Join us in celebrating the release of local artist and author Doug E. L. Haynes' "The Humanities Building: Do you love it or hate it?" Following the previous "State Street Coloring Book" (a favorite at Leopold's Bookstore), Haynes' new project pairs his writing with his art in a series of 100 thoughtful sketches and stories. A native of Madison, Haynes' immensely prolific career has seen him create paintings, woodcuts, murals, and many other works in a diverse array of mediums. Notable projects include a series of 36 self-portraits created in 36 days while undergoing chemotherapy, as well as the beloved "Selfie Station," a bright and botanical piece outside the local Neighborhood House Community Center. Of late, he lent his proverbial pen to a Cap Times column criticizing MMOCA's exhibition of an artist most notable for work with generative AI, asking for artistic integrity to be prioritized more highly. Readers can look forward to a forthcoming interview with him in the paper.
